Local Chat Griefing

[Coco Loxingly]

HI!  In the 12 years I've been in SL this has happened to me twice in public live music places.  Someone  uses my name to say two nasty sentence in local chat.  Is this some kind of script - is it random?

If the text appears in green, then it came from an object, probably worn by the person saying things "as you"

Right click on "your" name that said the offending sentence and you should be able to identify who it belongs to. report them to club staff.

With the owner information shown on screen you can then report them to LL .. a screenshot is included with the report so make sure it shows whats needed to aid in identifying the person and what they did. Keep your report calm, clear and concise.

It's a common trick, usually used in fun. But Evil People can use it to grief, too.  It's called "ventriloquism", and as Coffee says, it's done with a scripted object, usually some sort of HUD.
